Abstract

An adsorbent removes certain undesirable components from beverages, such as beer, and has a low beverage soluble iron (BSI) content. These undesirable components include contaminants which cause chill haze. The adsorbent includes two components, a silica component and a polyphosphate sequestering agent component, such as sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP). The process for using the adsorbent involves first contacting a beverage with an adsorbent to adsorb at least a portion of the undesirable components then separating the adsorbent from the beverage. The adsorbent may be formed by one of two methods or a combination of both. The first method involves adding the polyphosphate sequestering agent to a reactant, such as a sodium or potassium silicate solution, prior to or during the gelation stage. A second method involves adding the polyphosphate sequestering agent to the water wash after a hydrogel is formed. The BSI of the adsorbent is substantially reduced using the first method, but the total iron content of the adsorbent appears to increase. The second method decreases both the BSI and the total iron content of the silica gel.

As described below, when preparation silica gel absorber of the present invention, the present invention uses the polyphosphate chelating agent.The polyphosphate chelating agent is to comprise anion P nO 3n+1Compound, and can the chelating cation, foremost in this example is iron cation or ferrous cation.The polyphosphate chelating agent can comprise alkali metal or alkaline-earth metal in its prescription.Have been found that sodium phosphate trimer Na 5P 3O 10Be suitable for purpose of the present invention.
Below in conjunction with Fig. 1 and 2 method for preparing adsorbent of the present invention is discussed.Usually, these methods comprise that the wash solution (or the two mixture) that at first makes polyphosphate chelating agent and silica gel reactant or contain the silica gel parent contacts, and forms silica gel absorber by parent then.The silica gel reactant can comprise the parent material that can react with other parent materials of formation silica gel parent.Reactant comprises sodium metasilicate or potassium silicate solution, and when combining or forcing by nozzle with acid under certain condition, it forms hydrogel.Parent is for having the material of identical chemical composition basically with final silica gel, but but some physical change, as the variation of porosity measurement performance (porosimetry property), the variation of water capacity or the physics retentivity of other compounds in its hole.Formation realizes by conventional method, and comprise following discussion hydrothermal treatment consists (though in embodiment discussed below, not implementing), washing, grindings, reach drying.
In the embodiment depicted in fig. 1, polyphosphate chelating agent such as sodium phosphate trimer (STPP) mix the formation mixture with sodium metasilicate or potassium silicate.Chelating agent source 104 can provide STPP solution soluble in water.This solution in conjunction with the sodium metasilicate or the potassium silicate that are provided by silicate source 102, forms the silicate mixture that STPP-mixes in blender 106.Silicate mixture the mixings time enough that this STPP-is mixed to be obtaining the mixing of abundance, and for example 2-6 hour, although this visual other factors and changing.The amount of polyphosphate chelating agent to be added depends on the iron content of silicate, and it can be measured by conventional quantitative analysis tech.The amount of sodium phosphate trimer that can join sodium metasilicate or potassium silicate solution is for to make sodium phosphate trimer: the mol ratio of iron is about 0.5: 1-50: between 1, and preferred about 5: 1-10: 1.
Next, by forming silica gel as the silicate mixture that mixes with STPP-in the inorganic acid with acid.In following examples, use sulfuric acid.Except adding in silicate solutions the STPP, the manufacturing that contains the silica gel absorber of STPP component can anyly be used to prepare the known way influence of conventional silica gel absorber.For example, acid source 100 can be used for providing acid, and this acid can combine with the silicate mixture that STPP-mixes and form the hydrosol.Especially, the aqueous solution by rapid mixed acid and sodium metasilicate or potassium silicate forms silica hydrosol.Found that the concentration of conditioned reaction thing in this invention and flow velocity or ratio make the hydrosol contain to have an appointment the SiO of 5-30 weight % 2, the preferred SiO of about 10-20 weight % 2Be favourable.Find that also preferred neutralization fully is present in all alkali metal in the silicate solutions, and the excess acid that preferably is higher than 5 moles of %-30 moles of stoichiometry required amount % (preferred 15-25 mole %) come fully in and sodium or potassium.Therefore, preferably in silica hydrosol, there is not or do not have substantially unreacted Na 2O or K 2O.
